Landry vetoed tort reform bill - link to the recording of the press conference

Yep, it's collateral damage. I think it's HB477.

Collateral source rule change is being vetoed.

BTW, I think he is just vetoing one bill HB 423.

That’s the one that several weeks back, The Hayride, which certainly seemed to be big supporters of Gov Landry, wrote:

quote:

---

a huge coalition of business interests in the state – LABI, NFIB, the homebuilders, the loggers, the truckers, the builders and contractors, the insurance companies, obviously, and a goodly number of others – came out forcefully for the bill when it moved through the legislature and are now demanding that Landry sign it.

But if he vetoes that bill, and the veto sustains, Jeff Landry then becomes the Republican governor the business groups can’t trust.

Not to mention he shakes the trust Seabaugh and lots of other members of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus, plus lots of pro-business legislators, have in him.

Landry can’t afford to veto that bill. It’s a real shame he’s even considering vetoing it. He might find that making a deal with trial lawyers like Gordon McKernan to get elected turns out to be a mistake that greatly hamstrings his ability to govern successfully.

Can't they override a veto?

Technically? Yes.

Realistically? Not going to happen.

Let’s see how many in the Legislature are willing to fight the good fight. A shame this extra step is even needed now.

That will be interesting. You finally got them in the final year of JBE to actually overturn a veto. That's after not overturning JBE's vetos for constitutional carry and dudes in girls sports the year before. And those were super majority GOP legislatures IIRC. It would be very La. GOP to now overturn a GOP governor veto in his first year.

Which one?

quote:

I don't see one of the bills listed that I am in favor of.

---

Not one.

None.

The La. legislature is dominated by the insurance industry and has been for decades.

They will only change laws regarding insurance that benefit the insurance industry.

I don’t think they’ll do it. Too many won’t want to cross Huey P Landry like that.

They won't override his veto.

When Cameron Henry had Cleo Fields hold up the Con Con bill in committee, that was a shot across the bow. After going for five months, no one in the legislature has the appetite to come back to Baton Rouge to override a veto on this.

They reserved their veto override power for the trans bill last year.

So, he's endorsing theft.

Glad Gordon & Co. Are getting what they paid for.

It’s crazy they changed the 911 number to 8888888
